The Classic Understated.\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Signature Casserole Dish 24 cm in Pearl Gray\u003c\/strong\u003e is Le Creuset's classic round cast iron dish with a volume of approximately 4.2 liters, with light enamel inside, suitable for all hobs including induction. Not lightweight, not microwave-safe, not a pot for a quick hot flame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Signature Casserole Dish 24 cm in Pearl Gray\u003c\/strong\u003e measures 24 centimeters in diameter and holds approximately 4.2 liters — the medium size for a small household. On the outside, it features the pearl gray enamel color, and inside, the light glaze, with a heat-resistant knob on the lid. From searing to simmering to serving, everything stays in this one pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCast Iron Works with Time\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCast iron absorbs heat slowly, distributes it evenly from the base to the walls, and retains it there. This is precisely what differentiates it from lightweight cookware: Once heated, the casserole dish continues to cook at low to medium heat — it doesn't need more, and you shouldn't give it more, as gentle heat preserves the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis saves energy and changes the way you cook. A braised dish will simmer evenly on a low flame, with nothing burning at a hot spot. And when the casserole dish comes to the table, its contents will stay hot for a long time — the pot is also the serving dish. It works on all hob types, from gas to ceramic to induction, and can go in the oven and even the freezer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSearing also works well in the enamel: sear meat over medium heat, deglaze the fond with wine or stock, put the lid on — the rest is patience. Because the pot retains heat so evenly, it forgives long cooking times without anything sticking to the bottom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Enamel and its Rules\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInside, the casserole dish features Le Creuset's light enamel. Its smooth surface is easy to clean and shows how far the fond has developed during searing — something you wouldn't see on a dark base. The lid closes tightly and keeps moisture in the pot; its knob is heat-resistant up to 250 °C, but gets hot in the oven and should be handled with an oven mitt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things to know. Cast iron is not suitable for the microwave — metal should not be put in there. And those expecting feather-light cookware will not be happy with a cast iron casserole dish: the weight is part of its function, as the mass is the heat reservoir. While the casserole dish is dishwasher safe, handwashing is still recommended — it preserves the patina that develops over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf something does get baked on, warm water soaked with a little dish soap helps — scouring agents and steel wool have no place on enamel. With this care, the surface will last decades of daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCast from a Single Mold Since 1925\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1925, foundry technician Armand Desaegher and enamel specialist Octave Aubecq teamed up to produce cast iron casserole dishes with colored enamel — the birth of Le Creuset. The round cocotte was one of the first products and remains the heart of the brand to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach casserole dish is still manufactured using the sand-casting method, where each mold is used only once — no two pots are identical down to the gram. This is followed by several layers of enamel, which give the cast iron its color and the inside its smooth surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLe Creuset offers a 30-year guarantee on the casserole dish. This is not a marketing number, but a statement about its lifespan: a Signature casserole dish is more likely to be inherited than replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePearl Gray for Modern Kitchens\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePearl Gray is the architectural answer among the Signature colors: cool, modern, understated. The 24 cm in Pearl Gray fits into kitchens with concrete, steel, and light wood, without being obtrusive — and proves at the table that a cast iron casserole dish doesn't have to be red to be recognized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSome pots are bought for a recipe. This one is bought for the next thirty years.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Le Creuset","offers":[{"title":"1 piece","offer_id":56361387622726,"sku":"074LEC010","price":213.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4960\/1350\/files\/le-creuset-braeter-24-cm_1167d7fe-a13d-4a5d-a7de-183522c18c90.jpg?v=1776143962","url":"https:\/\/ginusslande.com\/en\/products\/le-creuset-braeter-signature-24cm-perlgrau","provider":"genussland","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
